Welcome to Miami Gardens, the third-largest city in Miami-Dade County, Florida, incorporated on May 13, 2003, and located approximately 15 miles northwest of downtown Miami in the 33014, 33169, 33054, and 33168 zip codes . With a population of over 110,000 residents, Miami Gardens is a diverse, family-oriented community known for its strong sense of pride, vibrant cultural events, and home to the Hard Rock Stadium—the iconic venue for the Miami Dolphins, Miami Open, and the Orange Bowl .
Miami Gardens was formed from the unification of several historic communities, including Andover, Bunche Park, Carol City, Norwood, Opa-locka North, and Scott Lake. Each neighborhood contributes its own character while sharing a commitment to community development and quality of life. The city is served by Miami-Dade Transit and enjoys convenient access to major highways including Florida’s Turnpike, the Palmetto Expressway, and I-95 .
